Early morning and my mind is gone
To a place and time where love wasn’t wrong
Headed God knows where and I don’t care
It’s just me and an endless road

Momma always told me, “Girl don’t you run”
But you’re pressed against my head like a loaded gun
It’s do or die and the past can’t be undone

If staying here is right, I’m better off wrong
I’m not running away
I’m running to save the better part of the last ten years
Of my life
I think it’s time that I say goodbye
To all my lonely yesterdays
And I, I need to find a better home
For this aching soul, this heart of stone
I’m not running away
I’m running to save the better part of me

I don’t know where I’m going
But it sure beats the hell out of where I’ve been
I’m stuck between a rock and a stubborn heart
That won’t let me let go of him
I’m letting go of all of this

If staying here is right, I’m better off wrong

I’m not running away
I’m running to save the better part of the last ten years
Of my life
I think it’s time that I say goodbye
To all my lonely yesterdays
And I, I need to find a better home
For this aching soul, this heart of stone
I’m not running away
I’m running to save the better part of me

I don’t know how far I’ll get
But I know how far I’ll go

I’m not running away
I’m running to save the better part of the last ten years
Of my life
I think it’s time that I say goodbye
To all my lonely yesterdays
And I, I need to find a better home
For this aching soul, this heart of stone
I’m not running away
I’m running to save the better part of me
